The influence of continuous actuation stress on the reliability of dielectric-less ohmic RF-MEMS cantilever-based switches was investigated in this work. Comparing different designs, the changing of the main electrical parameters during the stress were attributed to oxide-around-actuator charging phenomena, leading to both narrowing and shifting of traditional hysteresis-like curves. Recovery procedures were also analyzed.

Abstract
The influence of continuous actuation stress on the reliability of dielectric-less ohmic RF-MEMS cantilever-based switches was investigated in this work. Comparing different designs, the changing of the main electrical parameters during the stress were attributed to oxide-around-actuator charging phenomena, leading to both narrowing and shifting of traditional hysteresis-like curves. Recovery procedures were also analyzed.File in questo prodotto:
